March 2017 saw Dumez Maroc (part of the Vinci Construction International Network) handover a new fishing port in Casablanca, a project forming part of a total redevelopment of the port area.
Undertaken on behalf of Morocco’s ports authority, this complex operation – the biggest project ever implemented by the company – took place in a particularly hostile environment where heavy swells are frequent.
The task involved transferring the city’s old fishing port, which was too small and in poor condition, to a new, larger and more modern site.
The work included the creation of a main breakwater (655m), a secondary breakwater (535m), two quays (323m and 145m) and 240m of floating jetties, as well as dredging in the inner basin and access channel.
